Topics • Reprise of INCITS, T11 & Cooperative Strategy • Status of MIB Projects in T11.5
INCITS • International Committee for Information Technology Standardization • Called X3 for many years up to 1998 • Had to change because of “web search problem” • Holds the US TAG for several key ISO groups • See www.incits.org for details
Storage Interface Committees • First formed pre-1977 • Splits occurred in 1982 & 1995 • The committee names all changed in 1993 as well • Now 3 active groups – T10, T11, T13 • See http://www.t11.org etc. • Nearly all widely-used storage peripheral interfaces for last 20 years defined by these committees
Cooperative Strategy • Intend is to coordinate activities between INCITS & IMSS to: • Ensure timeliness wrt other work • Follow latest IETF directions, take advantage of expertise • T11.5 has approved a process for this: • Run an internal project as usual, including Letter Ballot, on a draft MIB • When all issues that can be resolved are done, transfer change control to IMSS
Project Status • First two MIB projects approved in T11.5 in December 2003 • Name Server MIB • Domain Manager MIB (decided to change name to Fabric Address Manager MIB is better mesh with other T11 projects) • See http://www.t11.org/t11/stat.nsf/tg5 for full details of the management group
Project Status • T11 takes “formal” online ballots on “drafts” as part of approval process • Ballots closed 6/03/2004 • Domain Manager MIB (called SM-FAM) Y38-N02-A12-DNV03 (1 yes ballots included comments) – 99 comments total • Name Server MIB (called SM-NSM) Y38-N02-A12-DNV03 (3 yes ballots included comments) – 86 comments total • See http://www.t11.org/t11/vote.nsf/xbals for full details
Project Status • T11.5 hoped to have comment resolution completed in time to submit completed internet-drafts for this meeting • Apologies for the fact that this didn’t happen • Group met twice in July, is meeting later this week in Colorado, and again in October • Target is to submit for November IETF
Project Status • Also approved two new projects • Routing Information MIB (called SM-RTM) • Fibre Shortest Path First (FSPF, called SM-FSM) • Target is to pass completed drafts to imss @ 62nd IETF (March 2005)
